Start here if you're unfamiliar with Keaton & minimize your investment. Disc 1 - his famous silent shorts. Disc 2 - More silent shorts, and features - Parlor Bedroom & Bath (1931) & Lil' Abner (1940). Disc 3 - Steamboat Bill Jr. & The General from his silent days and The Villain Still Pursued Her from 1940. If you don't like anything here, you're probably just not cut out to be a Keaton fan.

The only way I know of to view the long lost two-reeler, 1918's "The Cook", with Arbuckle & Keaton. A few seconds of footage remains lost, even here.

Contains Buster's first three films that he did for MGM after he lost creative control. Cameraman is pure Keaton genius, Spite Marriage is a little less than top tier, and Free & Easy makes you wonder where Irving Thalberg was when Buster's first talkie was being made. Includes an excellent documentary on Keaton.

Buster plays Homer Harmon, a wealthy landlord of tenement buildings in a poor Irish neighborhood of New York City. He falls madly in love with the older sister of a teenage delinquent, whose gang is defacing his property. In order to win favor with the sister, Buster builds a gym for the kids. Made in 1931.

A placeholder for "The Passionate Plumber" (1932), another early MGM talkie that Buster starred in. The only way I know you can get it is at www.classicvideostreams.com. They have DVD copies for sale. Not a great print, but it is watchable. They also sell individual DVD copies of "Grand Slam Opera", Keaton's best Educational Pictures short.

A nice poster, but it's just a placeholder for the DVD set "Buster Keaton Educational Shorts" from looserthanloose.com. It's the complete set of shorts he made at Educational Pictures in the mid to late 1930's, and I know of nowhere else you can find this set. This set actually has very good video quality, but it's expensive ($65 + shipping).

The 10 shorts Keaton made at Columbia Pictures in 1939-41. Director Jules White had a radically different view of comedy from his star. White guided the hijinks of Columbia's busiest comedy stars, the Three Stooges, and his leadpipe-to-the-noggin style did not mesh well with Keaton's measured, logical approach.

This 1946 film is a cheaply made nonsensical C- movie even compared to Buster's early MGM talkies. If you are a Keaton completist, then give it a look if you must. However, just prepare yourself for even more heartbreak if you admire the man's talent as much as I do. Grapevine video now has DVD copies.

Keaton plays Chaplin's partner in a supporting role in this 1952 film. Buster's part is only about 10 minutes at the very end of the film.

A great show, and you don't want every season just because of Buster, but Buster was featured once in a season 3 episode in 1961. Janitor Woodrow Mulligan (Buster) gets a trip from 1890 to 1962 courtesy of his employer's time helmet.

Keaton's last film.

An excellent book on the films of Arbuckle & Keaton during their years of collaboration, 1917-1919. It does justice to both artists, and even talks about Arbuckle's work while Keaton was in the army during World War I.

Approach this one with caution. It has details about Buster's private life not found elsewhere, & is certainly a Hollywood-gossip laden volume, but I'm not sure how much of it is true. I caught the author in more than one erroneous conclusion when I read it, and since everyone involved is dead, it's impossible to prove or disprove her accusations. It does seem the author disliked her subject.
